The Devils got Tony Amonte!

Redrum is beside himself.

Remember when we got Richer the second time...I think 7 even scooped it...he kept saying it would happen and we all were like "nah man, you're full of sh!t, go sit in the corner!" and then bam....Richer became a Devil again!

I still want to sign Miroslav Satan for a day just so I can buy his jersey. Such a missed opportunity.

You know I really thought that we would have gotten him at one point at least. He was a fun little player too. Sported a mean unibrow also.

A player on the team who I knew told me.

Kyle Quincey at morning practice. Guess we missed the bus

I don't think that necessary means that.  You sit him for a game to protect the asset from injury but they're not trying to ostracize him.  Besides, if he does get moved it allows everyone to say goodbye.

It was a long time ago (1990), but Devils defenseman Craig Wolanin went to practice on deadline day, then the deadline passed, and he thought he was free and clear...only to find out minutes after that he'd been dealt to the Quebec Nordiques for declining star Peter Stastny...said it was crushing mostly because he was so sure at that point that he was safe from being moved.

So yeah, hopefully Shero moves Quincey today.  Not going to make anything out of him being at practice.

Honestly, it's become a real sad reality that the only excitement on this team the last few years has been us making deals on deadline day to "stack up on draft picks" just so we can become better in the future.

And for those of you hoping for a Kyle Quincey deal to make your day, you really need to have a reality check.  What on God's good earth do you think you are going to garner in return for Kyle Quincey?  What?  The guy was a UFA signed by us that no one wanted.  So, let's say we get a 3rd rounder, then what?  When's the last time a 3rd rounder made an impact on this team and get us to the playoffs?

Corey Schneider / Travis Zajac for a few firsts would be exciting, but other than that, shut the internet down and get back to work.

Wow somebody remembers. What a mysterious day that was...

I was at the game that night- we played Atlanta. The speculation that was going on inside the building when we found out Gomez was a healthy scratch was crazy lol.

No one's "day is going to be made" if/when Kyle Quincey's dealt...no one thinks anything sexy is going to happen today.  But the fact that the Devils already have a lot of picks (with possibly more by the end of the deadline) will at least increase offseason flexibility, as far as trading goes.  A 2nd and a 3rd went to Anaheim for Kyle Palmieri.  That deal worked out pretty well.

Just got this email... 

Today at 3 p.m. is the 2017 NHL Trade Deadline. To discuss the Devils' trade activity and the direction of the team, GM Ray Shero will be holding a Facebook Live chat around 4 p.m. this afternoon.

As we think about the future of this team, immediate and long-term, we want to make sure we are sharing that vision with you, a valued Season Ticket Member. Follow the New Jersey Devils on Facebook and tune in to Ray's Facebook Live interview this afternoon!

Get ready for some corporate speak this afternoon from Shero. It is amazing to watch someone speak out of both sides of his mouth. 

Lou was no prize either but it wasn't corporate speak. He just never said anything!

lets hear what the vision is. Attacking ,supporting ,tough to play against in our building ,believe...the Easter bunny, tooth fairy and Peter Pan believe...

I didn't see it posted here, but the Panthers got Vanek for Dylan McIlrath and a 2017 3rd round pick.

 

How did you miss the giant Twitter post that Chimaira made just two posts above yours? lol

Sure Chuck, sure.  ;)

(I didn't check the timestamps, my b )

The presentation in his post was far superior, that's for sure!

BTW...Mike McKenna just got traded.  I don't know what's more amazing to me, the fact that he still plays professional professional hockey, or someone would give something up to get him.
